The cows... they seem to be defying gravity. I find this puzzling, for this is not an action often associated with members of the bovine species.

iDeveloperz

JamesZeppelin

Ok so you're this little chicken and you have to save your chicks which are being held by other farm animals (like cows, horses, ducks, llamas, etc). The one in the pic is only level one so it gets more difficult

iDeveloperz

Sounds interesting, well if you make it for iPhone Im your web developer guy. If you ever need an online preview, gallery, contact form etc.

Thanks so much i really appreciate that. Ill let you know if I need anything haha i was just playing one of your games earlier, i think it was Steves adventure. It was actually rlly fun. Are you working on any game right now?

iDeveloperz

iStax and Steve's adventures. Steve's adventures is really easy to make. But iStax is out of my league so Ill leave that until I make my $200th dollar.

I have a few websites if you want to check them out. Just email me at iDeveloperz@me.com

You made 200 dollars?? Luckkyy haha ill be lucky if i make like 5. I never sent an app to the app store but im planning to send this one. Is it hard to sales becaue ive seen a lot of really dumb apps make alot

iDeveloperz

No, I have made $40, I'm not doing very well.

When I get $200, Ill work on iStax. But until then. Ill leave it unless I pay someone here.

lol did you make the most on the first day of your release?

iDeveloperz

No I made $1.40 on the first day. Iv'e never made over $2.00 in a day.

Unless you spend at least $150 minimum on advertising, you won't get many sales. The more you spend the more you'll make.

Well for me Just make a lot of games (1 every 1-2 weeks or even less) and you will make $15-30 a day.
When I finish a game I always doodle it and send it as a different game, I did that to 75% of my games and now I have 11 games on the app store

How much have you made so far?

aalzanki

I made a total of $320, Because I only started 3 months ago.

Personally, I'd rather make one good game that I am proud of than 10 "quickie" games that I think are junk. I want to make games that I would buy myself.

I also want to try and build a brand that people associate with quality.

I have two games in the App Store and make a few hundred dollars a day. My games are by no means masterpieces, but I am trying!

I have spent no money on advertising. I would exhaust all of the free avenues before I would spend money on marketing.

iDeveloperz

Seriously how do people make so much.

In 3 months I haven't made half to buy another GS licensee.

And I have used up 50 promos, money on Facebook adds.

I hope the next 2 game I release will make me $100 a day

Screen shot looks alright. Cows, barn and chicken look cool.Good luck with developing the game looks like a nice idea for some quick puzzle/platformer based action.

I know this is your first game and it may still be in early development but just as a quick bit of feedback.

I'd recommend making your text 'Level 1' and 'main menu' with more exciting text in another program eg. Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, add some stroke, a drop shadow or something. Cool graphic design looking text.. It will raise the level of your game a load, and people will appreciate that a bit of time has been spent on it when they see the screen shots on the app store..

Also add a floor, on which everything is stood, maybe some grass in the foreground..Just adds more detail to a good looking level.

Whether or not lots of quick games or really well made ones is the best route to the rich list I'm not sure. I'm trying to take Firemaples route, and I've just finished my first game Quake Builder after 3 months work. Submitted it on Wednesday... I made my first app Contented Baby Sleep, which sells around 5 a day. That was really made to learn some basics of GameSalad and about submitting to the app store, but its selling fine.

checkout Quake Builder on my website if you get a chance... http://www.stormystudio.com

good luck with the game.

if you make quickies they only sell for a week or so if people like the icon - while they are new anyways.

a ton of games is not the trick. It doesnt work.

if you made $320 in 3 months i bet you could have made that with half the work and one good game.

you cant say it's the tricks if you have only made $320 in three months, Now if you come back in 6 months and have made 10k ill shut my mouth...er fingers!

while i havent made a masterpiece by any means i have had $300+ days.
i would not have had those days with quickies.

not to say a doodle version isnt an bad idea though...lol
people may not always admit it but they love them doodle games!

Are any sheep involved?

beefy_clyro

QS rates a game at least a 7 if sheep are involved
